What is Card Crawl?

Card Crawl is a roguelike solitaire card game with dungeon crawler elements, developed and published by Arnold Rauers. Players assemble a deck of skill cards, with each card having unique effects, to battle monsters, gather gold, buy upgraded cards, items, and spells from the dungeon merchant, and eventually try to escape through reaching a high score. There is permanent death implemented, random dungeon generation, unlockable player classes, and a daily challenge mode for additional replayability.

Gameplay consists of using cards with various skills and effects to defeat monsters blocking your path upward through the dungeon. You have a limited number of steps you can take per turn, requiring strategic card use. Defeating monsters earns you gold to buy upgraded cards, items like torches and potions, and powerful spells. The roguelike elements come from procedural dungeon generation, permanent death mechanics requiring starting a new run when you die or fail to escape, and a variety of classes to unlock that change how you strategize. There is also a Daily Challenge mode with online leaderboards.

Card Crawl has a simple, pixel art style with atmospheric music. Critics praise the strategic card playing and deckbuilding with the roguelike formula for intense, addictive, and satisfying gameplay. Additional content and features have been added over time in updates. With many cards, items, and spells to unlock, it offers a lot of variety in each new run.
